Rating:
A happy and youthfully charming film for the whole family!

The popular TV series has now become a feature film with new material by Måns Gahrton and Johan Unenge. As Eva turns 14, surprises abound – little brother Max has bought a white rabbit for just one krona, and big brother Tobbe names Eva his "Babe of the Week" in his closet portrait gallery!

Adam is falling apart with longing while Eva yearns for freedom. But who is he really in love with?

Eva and Adam have been together for three years, but Eva is starting to feel trapped. She breaks up, but hadn't expected Adam to move on so quickly with the whirlwind Petra. It all leads to a 40th birthday party and a school dance where mistakes and emotions collide.

Editor's Note (2026): A fine example of how well Måns Gahrton's and John Unenge's characters translated to the big screen. The fact that Iva calls it "charming for the whole family" shows the film successfully bridged the gap between children's programming and real drama.
